Peter Ganick on Six Months Aint No Sentence

this is my collaboration with jim leftwich’s ‘six months aint no sentence’. unpardonably written in words without images.

thought has no part of it. vision/visibility has even less.

the reason for the collaboration is pleasant, but serious. nothing gets in the way of the collaboration.

leftwich’s writing is always a freeing-up. frees up efforts of anyone/everyone in the process of reading the resultant text. it is not delinquent to say ‘six months……’ can become ‘six years…..’ even ‘six decades-onto centuries……’. will poetry be there after that time—regardless of its survival.

leftwich’’s writing of this text is a lightness, a grateful lightness. the text comes and goes. it is more or less than it is. it has no parts, the books’ individuality is debatable. [are all books separate or one continuum.]

without making mr leftwich uncomfortable—it is the opinion and prophecy [even] of this writer—a poet, a friend the writer, a publisher of the writer—we will be discussing/talking about his writing a long long long time from now now now [even].
